Version 10.8.7 contained a hidden function, disguised inside an update-check routine, that ran early in WordPress\u2019s request handling and granted full administrator access to anyone who sent a single specially crafted HTTP request, without needing to log in at all. Wordfence\u2019s automated threat intelligence system identified the malicious code within around two hours of it appearing and the WordPress.org team pulled the release the same day, so most sites did not receive it through automatic updates.
